This is the reference of all specific situations and such in the game rules. It is however, not a "how to play" document in any way. It a pure reference to different ideas and mechanics in the game. You are meant to link into this from other pages, for instance: [[Basics of Play]].

 It is hard to kill any of the humankind, but this is the closest they come. If they are both drained and harmed enough, they will bottom out. At this point, while not actually dead, they are very close and will only return if [[18K80#Specter]] restores them. It is hard to kill any of the humankind, but this is the closest they come.

 +===== Difficulty =====
 +----
 +As the wise man once said, hard things are hard. When an action has a Difficulty number (other than Getting By) the GM must inform the player before a roll is made, allowing them to change their mind and perhaps go about things differently. This can also just be a single to the player to make sure they have Boosts, Push, etc. at the ready for such a roll.
 +
 +===== Rest =====
 +----
 +When your character rests, they sleep 1d8 * 5 minutes and remove 1 Harm. Trigger any other rules caused by them resting at the end of the rest period.

   * **Drain**: This is energy drain. When it overflows, the energy of the individual is fully drained. At this point they fall unconscious and in 1d6 hours awake with all their drain erased and one Harm per hour "slept". Drain acts as a Block for all actions by expend [[18k80#Lite]].   * **Drain**: This is energy drain. When it overflows, the energy of the individual is fully drained.

   * **Harm**: This is injury. When it overflows, the individual is gravely injured and falls unconscious. They will regenerate fully in an hour, and awake with all their Harm erased and take 1d8 Drain. If this overflows their Drain, they [[#Bottom Out]]. Harm acts as a Block on all stressful physical actions.   * **Harm**: This is injury. When it overflows, the individual is gravely injured and falls unconscious.

 +===== Snag =====
 +----
 +When the GM is cued by the rules, they may throw in a Snag. This is something that may hamper the action of the characters in the current stage of action. The GM can create the Snag as they see fit, or use the [[Process|Snag]] Process. The end result will be something that will likely act as [[Basics of Play#Blocks]] for the characters actions.

 If you can create an effort of 11+, you have the option to trigger special rules. You have to pay a Push and roll a d10 under five plus the effort in excess of 10. So 11 effort is 6 or less, 12 is 7 or less, and 15 doesn't even need a roll (10 or less). If you can create an effort of 11+, you have the option to trigger special rules.
